1 - CONNECTION

1.1 - INTERFACE
The X34 series is equipped with a serial communication interface
RS485 insulated available on 3 terminals on the back of the
instrument.
By means of this terminals it is possible to connect the regulator
with a net to which other instruments (regulators of PLC) are
connected, all depending typically on a personal computer used as
plant supervisor.
When resting the instruments are in reception mode and pass to
transmission after receiving and decoding a correct message
addressed to them.

Vr. 02 (ENG) - 11/12 - cod.: ISTR-PX34-ENG02 1.2 - RS 485 LINE

The instrument is equipped with two terminals called D+ and D-
which have to be connected with all the namesake terminals of the
ASCON TECNOLOGIC S.r.l. net. For the wiring operation it is advisable to adopt a screened
VIA INDIPENDENZA 56 cable wired as in the drawing.

The interface circuit allows the connection of up to 32 instruments
on the same line.
The total length of the line can reach a maximum of 1000 metres.
To maintain the line in rest conditions a 120 Ohm resistance (Rt)
must be connected to the end of the line.
Once you have created the network must be programmed in par.

You can set a different number for each station, from 1 to 255.
Set a different number for each station, from 1 to 255.
Note: The baud-rate communication are fixed at 9600 baud.
2 - MODBUS COMMUNICATION PROTOCOL
The protocol adopted by the X34 series is a sub-group of the
widely used protocol MODBUS RTU .
This choice guarantees easiness of connections to many PLCs and
to all the commercial supervisory programmes.

The functions of the MODBUS RTU protocol used in the X34 series The reply structure is as follows :
are: num. slave function exception CRC
- function 3 - reading of n words code with code LSB MSB
- function 6 - writing of a word MSB a 1
These functions allow the supervisory programme to read and byte 0 byte 1 byte 2 byte 3 byte 4
change any data from the instrument. The X34 series s adopt a sub-group of exception codes of the
Communication is based on messages sent by the master station MODBUS RTU :
to a slave station (X34) and vice versa. unknown function code 1
The slave station that recognises its own address in the message invalid memory address 2
analyses the content and, if it finds it to be semantically and
invalid value in data field 3
formally correct, it then creates a reply message for the master.
The communication process involves five types of message: controller not ready 6
from the master to the slave from the slave to the master
function 3: request for reading function 3: reply containing n 2.4 - CYCLIC REDUNDANCY CHECK (CRC)
of n words words read
function 6: request for writing function 6: confirmation of writing
of a word of one word
Exceptional reply (in reply to both
functions, in the event of an
irregularity)
Each message contains four fields:
- slave’s address: the values included between 1 and 255 are
valid ; the address 0 (zero) is reserved by MODBUS RTU for the
broadcasting messages but is not used for the TLY series due to
the implicit reliability of this type of communication;
- function code : this contains 3 or 6 depending on the specified
function;
- information field : this contains the addresses or the value of the
words, as requested by the function in use;
- control word : this contains a cyclic redundancy check (CRC)
calculated according to the rules foreseen for the CRC16.
The characteristics of the asynchronous communication are : 8 bit,
no correspondence one stop bit.

2.1 - FUNCTION 3 - READING OF N WORDS

The number of words to be read must be less or equal to four.
The request has the following structure :
num. 3 address first numbers of CRC
slave word words LSB MSB
MSB LSB MSB LSB
byte 0 byte 1 byte 2 byte 3 byte 4 byte 5 byte 6 byte 7

The normal reply (unlike an exceptional reply) has the following

structure:
num. 3 NB value of the Later CRC
slave num. first word words LSB MSB
of MSB LSB
bytes The CRC is a control word that allows the integrity of a message to
lread be checked.
byte 0 byte 1 byte 2 byte 3 byte 4 byte 5 byte byte Each message, sent or received, contains the CRC word in the last
NB+2 NB+3 two characters.
After receiving a request, the controller checks the validity of the
2.2 - FUNCTION 6 - WRITING A WORD message received, comparing the CRC contained in the message
The request has the following structure: with the one calculated during reception .
num. 6 address first value to be CRC In transmission, the controller calculates the CRC and places the
slave word written LSB MSB two characters at the end of the message.
MSB LSB MSB LSB The calculation of the CRC is carried out on each character of the
byte 0 byte 1 byte 2 byte 3 byte 4 byte 5 byte 6 byte 7 message except for the last two.
As the X34 instruments are compatible with the MODBUS RTU
The normal reply (unlike the exceptional reply) is purely an echo of (JBUS) protocol, these use the same algorithm for the calculation
the request message: of the CRC.

MSB LSB MSB LSB All the data exchanged are made up of 16 bit words.
byte 0 byte 1 byte 2 byte 3 byte 4 byte 5 byte 6 byte 7 There are two types of data: numerical and symbolic (or non

The numerical data represent the value of a size (e.g. the

The X34 series supply an exceptional reply after having received a The symbolic data represent a particular value within a range of
formally correct request but which cannot be met. The exceptional choices (e.g. unit of measurement can “be "°C" or "°F").
